Small Classes - there are a maximum of 6 students per class, which guarantees the best quality, lots of personal attention, and many chances to practice speaking Japanese
Competitive Prices - courses start at less than $160 USD per week, which makes us one of the cheapest language schools in Japan, while still maintaining a high standard of teaching
Flexibility - students can join our course every Monday, and after arriving at the school there are plenty of opportunities to add courses or join activities
Local Volunteers - not only do our teachers and employees provide a homely atmosphere, we also invite many Japanese volunteers to join our activities; in this way our students can make friends with locals and practice their Japanese outside of the classro

Highly recommended.
August 31, 2025by: Name Surname - United StatesProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoA very productive and fun way to spend time in Japan. Every teacher I've met had been very professional and passionate, making the most out of the curriculum. Every week is packed with different events and activities, especially Summer/Winter/Autumn/Spring Courses, and pretty much every one of them is worth doing. The location and school facilities are very convenient. Staff is amazing too. Nothing negative to say, really. Highly recomemnded.
Life-Changing
July 30, 2025by: Julian Huang - CanadaProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoI was in a bad place mentally before I decided to abruptly get on a plane to Sapporo. JALS was exactly what I needed at the time to once again find direction and meaning in my life. The community and staff are amazing and. It's my second family.
Jals is my second family now
July 11, 2025by: Erik Petersen - United StatesProgram: Short-term Japanese Course & Cultural Activity in HokkaidoThis was my first time abroad, and it was a very smooth and memorable experience. I was already excited to be in Japan and meet people, but I wasn’t expecting how quickly I made good friends with people from all sorts of different places. The activities were so fun and the lounge became the best place to spend time. Everyone at Jals, students, teachers and staff have all become my second family. I will never forget it.

I already live in Sapporo and had been going to another school. However, my previous school was a huge help in teaching me beginner Japanese but I was struggling to connect everything I had learnt, the teachers changed, and it was no longer working for me. I needed to find a school that not only suited my needs but also fitted around my work schedule.
